Ingredients for Peppermint Fudge:
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 Cup Crushed, Hard Peppermint Candy
- 2/3 Cup NESTLE® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- 1/4 Teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 1-1/2 Cups NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 1-2/3 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions for Making Peppermint Fudge:
- Begin by lining an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil.
- In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Bring this mixture to a full rolling boil over medium heat, all the while stirring constantly. Continue to boil, still stirring, for about 4 to 5 minutes. Then, remove it from the heat.
- Stir in marshmallows, semi-sweet chocolate morsels, vanilla extract, and the star of the show, peppermint extract. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute, ensuring that the marshmallows are completely melted. Pour this luscious concoction into your prepared baking pan and allow it to cool for 1 minute. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy on top, gently pressing it in. Now, pop it in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until it’s nice and firm. Once firm, lift it from the pan and carefully remove the foil. Finally, cut it into 48 delectable pieces.
